My apologies, I thought you were meant was ALL mail going to the nobody

I made that edit, and then ran newaliases, and the mail is STILL going
to "nobody."  It was a nice system, and once I edited /etc/aliases and
then ran newaliases, it made /etc/postfix/aliases look just like
/etc/aliases.

On other machines on our network, that last line reads

# Person who should get root's mail
#root:          marc

And those machines get mail...  Let me know!  Thanks.
